means 21 of severing the stringsffI hasbeen illustrated. 'Beneath' `these ,scissors `or other means lies acheck 28, which thesuvivors would 1 V receive as a'result of the'ipolicy contained on'the preceding page. The check is illustrated as vbeing released 4by severing vthe strings l |4 soY that .the entire, obligation shownon the preceding pages wiil'be released upon release vofthe check; and

, :the 'strings I 4 rare shownas passing through Vsheet Vlil, as bestseen in Fig. 7,"Where they extend from therear` page j3|l thereof and pass through the openings 3| in sheetv I I.V The cutting elementv 21 vsuggests the release :ofthe strings I4 so that upon removalof the check. 28V the portions [4f of... the string |4 are withdrawn fromV the openy. ingsy 3|. and theV ends thereof are shown at132 as 'having moved away from the home shown on the x front page'34 ofsheet II. Complete removal of the check 28 withdraws the strings I4 from Vthe openings '35.suggestingy that the home on page. islcompletely .released from the obligation.

In-orderthatthebook or '-folder may be used Vf .repeatedly the severing element-Z'Imaybeperma- ;nently-r xed to. the front of sheet .I 0 vwith vrthe .strings 1| 4 5 lpassing between the blades. thereof, `and also through the openings 1| 5 .in the' page. 'Ifhey may :end directly. beyond, the page anda -separate-piece-of string-.such asf|4 -`may be pro-V fvidedwhich-passes throughrthe chefckiZB, the

.openings 35 inthe sheetll) and theopenings 3| in sheet I I, sothat theywill be entwined 'about the subject matter shown on page 34. TheA ends ofthis string I4v may remain loosely on the b ack side of sheet II as best seen in Fig. 1.

A In this manner when the folder is being used vthe demonstrator need only grasp the end of the check `28 and pull it from beneath the cutting element 2'Ivso that the string I4 is drawn entirely away from the subject matter shown on page'3 4. This materially improves the operation then can be replacedin the openings35 and 3| with ease' and the same impression has been con- :veyed to the client.

L Cim'pagelilv a separate piece of string such as V38 may pass about the illustration 2| and be 'fastenedthereto so that it gives the impression entwinedby Vother circumstances or obligations and the various pages may illustrate subject matter which is appropriate tothe particular llesson which is to be rconveyedto the client.y i
